I read the write-up on this in Willamette Week. At least they agree it is religious like.

One of the leading evangelists for spending that money is Magnera, 32, a bookish, intense Columbia University graduate.

No American City Has Ever Tried a Climate Justice Tax Like the One Portland Is Launching. What’s the Plan?

I think this is stupid, and will have legal challenges.

The Democrats want to do this to companies like Google, but they remain on the fence due to the capability of Google to shape opinion. It’s an open question whether they can influence an election or not, but California politicians are risk adverse and are scared to death of being on the wrong side of Google’s algorithms.

“Don’t blame us! Blame the algorithm!”
 
You know I was pretty skeptical with the accusations that these climate change doomsayers were really just socialists in disguise and dont really care if theyre right on AGW or not and are instead just using the platform to advance their wealth transfer agenda, but now I'm starting to believe it.

I wonder how much of that money makes it's ways to their friends?
